When the cottonwood leaves had turned yellow
In the sand-blown deserts of the Southwest
Where the air is crisp and the water’s clear
Your wish came true when we showed at the door
To lavish you with kisses and shower you with love
‘Was so fun to see you in delighted surprise
Our tired legs suddenly seemed all right
We rested and had you at our sides
We read about deserts and the ancient ways of life
We shared the pumpkin bread made in shapes of skulls
We took a walk at dusk to see the bats in flight
We dressed in costumes to go trick-or-treat
And put on scary make-ups for Halloween Night
Then it was too soon we had to say goodbye
We’ll keep the fun long after the autumn leaves wither and die
